German style simple steel rapier crossguard / basket hilt to fit our tang type 2 blades. Ideally suited to sword blanks type 4 and type 6.

To keep the price low for the home sword maker we have kept it raw and could be polished/painted to your required standard but is usable as is. We have tested it and feel it is 100% combat ready under heavy use.

Steel bar diameter: 8mm
Basket width: 110mm
Crossguard tang slot: 11.1mm x 8.2mm
Length: 230mm
Width: 200mm
Weight: 420 grams

Designed for someone with an appropriate skill level to fashion a grip around MFC tang type 2 blade blanks and between this guard and MFC M8 threaded pommels.

Rough but serviceable. I fixed two of these to some rapiers and they held up very nicely against some bashing by other beefy swords. The only problems I have are rusty spots in the crevices and some very obvious and ugly welds. Otherwise, if you want a basic guard for a rapier and you don't care about looks. Grab this

Basic, robust steel guard. Suits simple rapier or sidesword. This is pretty much unfinished and will require some burnishing with a dremel, or similar, to clean it up. Once cleaned, blueing or polishing will improve the appearance tremendously. A little judicious filing will allow the Hanwei practical rapier blade to slot straight into the guard for an inexpensive, functional sidesword.
The ridiculously low price means that, with a bit of application, a full steel HEMA sword can be constructed for under £120 sterling

Roughly un-finished, needs a little of fileworking .This stuff is STRONG,very protective, is PERFECT for training or combat swords if you are looking for something cheap but functional. Great value for price.
